The President’s
Perspective
Charitable organizations, like human beings, are constantly
called upon to exceed expectations, to push boundaries, to
anticipate change and to be prepared. Challenge forces us out
of our comfort zones. It forces us to grow.
At Midwest Eye-Banks, we have grown as an organization,
as teams and as individuals serving a great mission. Our
challenge is to build on our strengths, to manage change…
to grow with excellence.
Excellent things have indeed been happening. Cornea
donations and provisions for sight-restoring surgery have
exceeded our projections. We’re working with surgeons to
incorporate new technology, provide better services and
offer the greatest benefit to patients. We’re improving our
organization with a focus on benefiting communities,
growing partnerships and contributing to the global practice
of eye banking.
But to grow with excellence, our leadership team must
organize itself around measurable success factors. As a first
step, we have implemented corporate dashboard reports that
enable our management to view trends and correlations at
a glance. This drives improvements in a number of areas,
particularly in our clinical programs.
This effort now continues in the form of strategic planning.
Beginning in summer, 2011, we’ve involved key stakeholders
and our entire staff in developing a strategy for growth. Our
three-year Strategic Plan takes a fresh look at our mission,
vision and values, and will use them to guide our primary
objectives and priorities throughout that time. We want
more opportunities to restore sight to more people.
Kevin W. Ross, MS, MPH
President and Chief Executive Officer
We’re inspired to continue the work of our heroes – leaders
who, in years past, saw similar opportunities and became
pioneers of eye banking as we know it. This year, we
mourn the loss of two such leaders: John W. Henderson,
M.D., Ph.D., founding surgeon of the Michigan EyeBank, and A. Charles Weir, who truly helped to establish
the organizational values of Midwest Eye-Banks and the
Michigan Eye-Bank as a member of our Board of Directors.
We honor the work of these men by carrying forward the
cause that meant so much to them.
We also have the privilege of honoring leaders whose decades
of dedication make them especially worthy recipients of
Midwest Eye-Banks’ highest award, our Founder’s Award:
John Krienke, Ph.D. has championed the Eye-Bank’s
mission among Lions, and has strengthened our community
relationships through his leadership and volunteer activities.
And Busharat Ahmad, M.D. is an internationally-renowned
ophthalmologist who began his practice in Marquette,
Michigan in 1971 and dedicated much of his 43-year career
to community service. In fact, Dr. Ahmad is now renewing
his role by partnering once again with Midwest Eye-Banks,
as we continue his efforts to develop eye banking and sight
restoration programs overseas.
With your continued participation, we will continue
connecting with communities, healthcare professionals and
those around the world who need us most. We will find more
ways to restore sight for more people. Together, we will grow
with excellence.

Clinical Update
Research and Training
Midwest Eye-Banks supplied a total of 2,859 tissues for
research and training to doctors and scientists during
Fiscal Year 2010-2011, marking the fifth consecutive
year the Eye-Bank has been able to increase the amount
of tissue provided in support of promising research
projects and training efforts. This increase reaffirms
the Eye-Bank’s commitment to fighting blindness on
all fronts; for every person whose sight can be restored
through corneal transplantation, many more still
await treatments that will only be discovered through
research.
Donated eye tissue is a precious gift that allows
scientists to investigate the causes of blinding eye
conditions and find new cures, going far beyond the 10
percent that can be treated with cornea transplants.
Tissue prepared for
Endothelial Keratoplasty
Once again, the number of corneal tissues prepared
and distributed by Midwest Eye-Banks for
posterior lamellar procedures, known as Endothelial
Keratoplasty (EK), increased during Fiscal Year
2010-2011, with EK tissue accounting for 1,726 of
the 5,697 corneas provided to surgeons by Midwest
Eye-Banks. This represents an increase of nearly
20 percent from the previous year.

Midwest Eye-Banks strives to honor the valuable
gift given by cornea donors by ensuring that all
healthy eye tissue is put to the best possible use.
When tissue availability surpasses the local need,
the Eye-Bank works with other U.S. eye banks to
place tissue with patients around the country. If
tissue cannot be placed within the United States,
the Eye-Bank will offer it to surgeons elsewhere in
the world, often in countries where eye, organ and
tissue donation is just beginning to develop.

Michelle Hastings, Ph.D. received funding
from the Eye-Bank’s Eye and Vision Research
Program for her study of Usher Syndrome,
the leading genetic cause of combined
blindness and deafness.
For those who wait
Eye banks have all but eliminated the U.S. waiting list for
transplantable corneas, yet countless vision-impaired patients
continue to wait for a cure.
Corneal transplantation is an effective treatment for
approximately 10 percent of all blinding eye conditions. In
other words, 90 percent of those who face impaired vision
and blindness are still awaiting a cure. And, for most of them,
research is the only hope.
That’s why Midwest Eye-Banks goes beyond the traditional
role of an eye bank — the recovery, evaluation and
distribution of eye tissue for transplantation — and offers
seed money grants to promising researchers through its Eye
and Vision Research Program.
“Corneal transplantation is one important way of
accomplishing our mission, but it is only ONE way,” says
Dan Reynolds, the Eye-Bank’s Director of Communications.
“To be true to our mission, and to serve those who can’t be
helped through transplantation, we have to invest wisely in
the search for new ways to help more people see again.”
“...the progress we have made would not
have been possible without this funding.”
The Eye-Bank’s research grants, which are usually around
$15,000 per project, allow scientists to conduct preliminary
research that can be used to apply for larger grants from other
organizations, such as the National Institutes of Health.
During the Eye and Vision Research Program’s three decades
of existence, more than $2.7 million in grants have been
awarded, including $112,000 during Fiscal Year 2010-11
alone. The Program also awards student stipends of $2,500
each.
Among this year’s grant recipients is Michelle Hastings,
Ph.D., an Assistant Professor at the Chicago Medical School
at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science.
Her research focuses on Usher Syndrome, the leading genetic
cause of combined deafness and blindness, with a longterm goal of finding a treatment for the disorder using gene
therapy.
For now, her laboratory is looking at one particular genetic
mutation that is known to cause Usher Syndrome — and
the resulting retinitis pigmentosa and deafness — in order
to develop the treatment approach and demonstrate the
feasibility of therapy for the disease. Known as “the Acadian
mutation,” the abnormality Hastings is studying is responsible
for all the cases of Usher Syndrome in the Acadian population
of Louisiana and is also found in 40 percent of those with
Usher Syndrome in Quebec.
“Usher Syndrome itself can be caused by a large number of
different mutations in 11 different genetic loci,” Hastings
says. “There is no cure or effective therapy for any type of
Usher Syndrome mutation.”
The diversity of genes and gene mutations that can cause
Usher Syndrome presents a challenge for developing a
treatment. Hastings believes that targeting individual
mutations through the use of antisense oligonucleotides
(ASOs), synthesized nucleic acids that will bind to defective
genes and deactivate them, may be a viable option.
“ASOs have a high degree of specificity and can be designed
and manufactured relatively easily,” she says, citing their
therapeutic use in treating Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy
and spinal muscular atrophy to demonstrate the promise of
this approach.
Hastings’ results have already shown that ASOs can target and
correct the Acadian mutation in isolated cultured human cells
and in mice that model the disease.
“These findings are an important step toward developing
and ASO-based treatment for Usher Syndrome that could be
applied not only to the (Acadian) mutation, but in principle,
to a large number of other mutations that cause the disease,
as well as retinitis pigmentosa and deafness in general,” she
explains.
Her laboratory is working with other experts in the field to
move this project forward, and she is grateful to Midwest EyeBanks for the funding she has received.
“These experiments and the progress we have made would not
have been possible without this funding,” she says.

Report to the Community
FISCAL YEAR 2010-2011
With a little help...
Charitable contributions are miracles for those who can’t afford sight-restoring medical procedures
Tynesha Foster struggled with her vision for years before being
diagnosed with a degenerative cornea disease called keratoconus.
Trying to see, she says, was like looking through fragments of
broken glass that distorted light, especially at night. It kept her
from doing things many people take for granted, like going to
college, because she was unable to see and didn’t want to ask others
for help.
Doctors tried treating her condition with hard contact lenses, but
they did little to improve her vision. “Cornea transplants were my
last hope,” she says.
But Tynesha was unable to afford the medical procedures necessary
for corneal transplantation. Her eye doctor, William Constad,
M.D., notified Midwest Eye-Banks of his patient’s special financial
needs; the Eye-Bank collaborated with Dr. Constad to help reduce
the costs associated with Tynesha’s transplant.
“Nobody should be denied a second chance for sight because of
an inability to afford the medical procedure and other associated
costs,” explains Charles Pivoney, the Eye-Bank’s Chief Operating
Officer.
Pivoney points out that there is never any charge for the tissue
itself – it is considered a gift from the donor and his or her family
to the recipient. However, the Eye-Bank must normally charge
processing fees to help alleviate the substantial costs associated with
eye tissue recovery, evaluation and distribution. This cost is usually
covered by the recipient’s insurance and billed through the hospital
or surgery center. However, when the recipient is uninsured and
cannot afford the procedure, the Eye-Bank does everything in
its power to waive or reduce the fees for its services. This is made
possible through much-needed charitable contributions from the
individuals and organizations that support the Eye-Bank.
Through charitable support, the Eye-Bank is able to ensure
everyone is given the chance for restored sight.
“Every day, we have eye donors providing a gift,” Pivoney
continues. “In the same vein, when someone needs help, we ought
to be there.”
Tynesha is happy to report that she is doing well and, while her
vision may never be perfect, it is getting better. She hopes to
undergo the procedure in her other eye next year, and return to
college soon.
“I’m grateful I was actually able to have a transplant,” she says,
crediting her donor, her doctor and the Eye-Bank for making it
possible. Tynesha was one of 151 people in Midwest Eye-Banks’
service area for whom the Eye-Bank was able to reduce or waive its
service fees during Fiscal Year 2010-11.

About 100 golfers gathered for the Michigan Eye-Bank’s Golf
Benefit on June 20 at the prestigious University of Michigan
Golf Course in Ann Arbor.
“The fact that people return year after year tells us that
they enjoy this event,” says Midwest Eye-Banks Director of
Communications and Golf Committee Chair Dan Reynolds.
“We’re thrilled to have their support. But if this event is to
survive, we will need to lean more heavily on our partners,
including surgeons and transplant industry groups who can
help us to attract a larger, more diverse group of sponsors and
golfers.”
Despite a brief downpour, golfers enjoyed a full day of golf,
food and drinks. One lucky golfer even managed a hole-inone.
At the end of the day,
participants gathered at the
club house to receive their
prizes and learn more about
the Eye-Bank’s mission.
During the program, the
Michigan Eye-Bank received
a check for $1,500 from the
Bank of Ann Arbor for being
a top 15 finalist in their Sweet
Fifteen Facebook Contest.

“After years of struggling with my
vision, I cannot begin to describe how
my transplants have changed my life,” says Abud, who was
diagnosed with keratoconus – a degenerative cornea disease
– at age 10. “By raising money for the Eye-Bank, I can help
them continue in their mission of sight restoration.”

Wired for success
Midwire promotes eye bank efficiency, collaboration
Those familiar with Midwest Eye-Banks are likely
already aware of the eye banking services it provides
– the recovery, evaluation and placement of tissue for
transplant, research and education. Many also know
about the vital seed money grants it provides to eye and
vision researchers investigating the causes of and cures for
blinding eye conditions. But perhaps fewer have heard
about the important services the organization offers to
other eye banks.
As part of its
commitment to
strengthening eye
banking around
the world, Midwest
invested in the
development of a
software application,
Midwire, that allows
for electronic tissue
tracking and digital
recordkeeping.
Initially launched in 2007, Midwire took on a life of its
own in 2010, when Midwire Systems became a subsidiary
of Midwest Eye-Banks and began providing the Midwire
software application to other eye banks. Today, Midwire’s
customers include Midwest Eye-Banks, the Iowa Lions
Eye Bank, the Heartland Lions Eye Bank, the Lions
Eye Bank of Wisconsin, the Rocky Mountain Lions
Eye Bank and the Vision Share eye bank consortium.
“We’re pleased to have been embraced by the eye banking
community,” says Michael O’Keefe, Executive Director of
Midwire Systems. “Our system was developed specifically
for eye banks, but it is refined to fit each user because
we know that every eye bank has its own way of doing
things.”
system and addressing any disturbances as quickly as
possible. Midwire staff work with eye bank staff to define
terminology and functionality, ensuring the software is
customized for how the eye bank does business.
Iowa Lions Eye Bank Executive Director Cindy Reed was
particularly impressed by the efforts made by Midwire
staff in tailoring Midwire to meet her needs.
“They put in a lot of
time, patience and
strategy to make sure
the system was working
for us,” explains Reed.
As a result, the Iowa
Lions Eye Bank is
experiencing more
efficient placement of
corneas and improved
donor documentation,
allowing the
distribution manager
to know exactly what tissue is available at any given
time. Because of Midwire’s ability to integrate with
QuickBooks, the Eye Bank is also able to issue electronic
invoices, instead of having to handwrite them.
“The major benefit is the time savings for our people,”
Reed explains, “and their ability to do their work far more
efficiently because of electronic record tracking and the
integration with financial systems.”
O’Keefe is glad to hear about these success stories. “This
is a platform for collaboration between eye banks,” he
says.

When putting Midwire in place at an eye bank, O’Keefe
and his team take great care to minimize disruptions
to the eye bank’s workflow, evaluating its previous

Always Connected
Community Engagement staff, Ambassadors and other volunteers focus on Eye Donor Month and beyond
The Illinois Eye-Bank recognized March as National
Eye Donor Month with help from Secretary of State
Jesse White, who teamed up with the Eye-Bank for a
poster campaign featuring pediatric eye tissue recipients
from around the state. Copies of the poster were placed
in 180 Secretary of State Driver Facilities to encourage
patrons to sign up on the Illinois Organ/Tissue Donor
Registry. The Secretary of State’s office also teamed up
with the Eye-Bank to give three hospital presentations.
Additionally, during National Eye
Donor Month, cornea recipient
Sarah Mittler shared her story on
WGN TV’s nation-wide Midday
News, Executive Director Diane
Hollingsworth was interviewed by
WGN Radio personality Bill Moller,
and the Pike Press in Pittsfield,
Cornea transplant recipient
Sarah Mittler
Illinois, ran a story about eye
donation, featuring an interview with Illinois EyeBank, Watson Gailey Regional Coordinator Dave
Hearn.
“National Eye Donor Month proved to be a great
opportunity to pique the media’s interest about what
we do,” says Hollingsworth. “It was especially moving
to see Sarah share her story with WGN’s viewers.”
But the Illinois Eye-Bank’s activities were by no means
limited to March. Staff worked to build relationships
with the state’s Lions Clubs, attending the State
Convention and various District and Zone meetings,
and worked directly with many individual Clubs.
Other activities for the year included Donor Tribute
Ceremonies with Gift of Hope and the Muscoskeletal
Transplant Foundation, and the Red Shoe Run for
Donor Awareness, hosted by the family of Carrie Jane
Smith, who became a cornea and tissue donor at the
age of 28.
The poster featuring Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White and young
transplant recipients was displayed in Secretary of State offices across
Illinois to help encourage others to join the Donor Registry.

Always Engaged
Eye Bank works with Ambassadors and other volunteers to reach local communities
The Lions Eye Bank of New Jersey completed Phase I of
its I Joined! Donor Registry program, which began in
2008, by providing information about eye, organ and
tissue donation to every Lions Club in the service area.
The majority of Clubs were given this information in a
presentation, but the Clubs that couldn’t be reached were
mailed the information.
The Eye Bank also coordinated eight Lions Donor Days,
with the help of volunteers from 10 Lions Clubs at Motor
Vehicle Commission offices throughout New Jersey. The
Lions volunteers helped educate customers about the
importance of joining the Donate Life NJ Donor Registry.
Lions Club volunteers encourage people to join the
Donate Life NJ Registry during Lions Donor Days.
Additionally, the Eye Bank was represented at 36
health fairs and community events during FY 2010-11,
including the New Jersey Education Association’s Annual
Convention, held in Atlantic City.
“We worked with Donate Life NJ to distribute guides to
high school teachers,” says Cathy Wasner, Community
Engagement Coordinator for the Lions Eye Bank of New
Jersey. “Hopefully, these guides will help them incorporate
information about eye, organ and tissue donation into
their curriculum, as mandated by the 2008 Hero Act.”
To commemorate National Eye Donor Month, the Eye
Bank paid special tribute to cornea donors and their
families at a March 13 Donor Remembrance Ceremony
at Community Medical Center in Toms River. About 100
people were in attendance. It was the Eye Bank’s first time
holding such an event.
Another first-time event for the Eye Bank was the
Celebration of Sight, featuring the artistic works of cornea
recipients. It was held on October 28 at the Clark Public
Library. Recipient and photographer Christine Scarano’s
work was the highlight of the event, and Christine was on
hand to talk about her craft.
Students at Rutgers University Health Fair test their
knowledge about donation with LEBNJ’s “Eye-Win”
trivia game.
Regional Coordinator Renee Lewis thanked donor family
members for choosing to give the gifts of life, sight and
mobility during the Donor Remembrance Ceremony.

Contributor Profile
Hopewell Valley Lions Club, Hopewell Valley, New Jersey
The Hopewell Valley Lions Club has a simple reason for contributing to the Lions Eye Bank of
New Jersey: The Eye Bank provides a service that is unduplicated, according to Paul Morin, the
Club’s President.
The Eye Bank’s mission of sight restoration ties in closely with Lions Clubs International’s support
for vision-related programs. In fact, at the urging of Helen Keller, Lions Club members have
served as Knights of the Blind since 1925.
Morin says that about half the Hopewell Valley Lions Club’s efforts support sight-related causes,
while the other half is aimed at youth-related programs.
The Club first heard about the Eye Bank when a representative gave a presentation about it at a
Club meeting several years ago. Later, when the Club received a letter from the Eye Bank asking
for support, the members were happy to oblige.
For more information about the Hopewell Valley Lions Club, visit www.hopewellvalleylions.org.
The Club meets at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at the Mercer County Public
Library and at 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month at H I Rib & Co. in Pennington,
New Jersey. Guests are welcome.

Michigan Eye-Bank
Always In Touch
Sharing the message
Michigan Eye-Bank staff and volunteer Ambassadors logged more
than 1,000 hours representing the Eye-Bank at more than 160
events across the state, including the Ann Arbor Art Fair, the
World’s Longest Breakfast Table in Battle Creek, the Crim Races
Pancake Breakfast and the Manistee County Fair. As a direct result
of these efforts, 3,631 people added their names to the Michigan
Organ Donor Registry.
“We’re proud of our Ambassadors,” says Alison Claerhout Wright,
Community Engagement Manager of the Michigan Eye-Bank.
“They’ve embraced our message of sight restoration and taken it to
their own communities on our behalf.”
Buddy Day, held on April 12, was another opportunity for
Ambassadors to shine. More than 300 volunteer “buddies” – many
of whom represented the Eye-Bank and Lions and Lioness Clubs
– staffed tables at Michigan Secretary of State branch offices across
the state, encouraging customers to join the Donor Registry. By the
end of the day, 2,549 more people had joined the Donor Registry.
But Buddy Day was not the only way newly elected Secretary of
State Ruth Johnson showed her support for eye, organ and tissue
donation. Johnson urged her staff to, when time permits, ask
customers at branch offices about joining the Donor Registry. By
the end of July, her efforts, along with those of the Eye-Bank and
other partners, had helped grow the Donor Registry to 2.2 million
people.
Meredith Teska and Nancy Eluskie volunteer to sign people
up on the Donor Registry at the Wyandotte Street Fair.
Volunteers helped add 2,549 new people to the Donor Registry
during the annual Buddy Day at Secretary of State branch offices.
Honoring those who gave
In an effort to honor the donors and their families who gave the
gifts of sight, life and mobility, the Michigan Eye-Bank worked
with Gift of Life Michigan to host two Donor Family Ceremonies,
one in Grand Rapids, for families on the western side of the state,
and one in Novi, for those on the eastern side of the state.
“These ceremonies illustrate all that is good and kind in the world,”
says Lisa Langely, Executive Director of the Michigan Eye-Bank.
“They allow us the opportunity to meet our donor families, and to
remember with them their love ones’ final acts of generosity.”
The Greenville Lions Club is one of many Clubs across the state
who support the Eye-Bank’s mission of sight restoration.
